Help me!! My girl had a soft shell egg stuck in her. I pulled it out but I don’t know if it broke in her. There was yolk in the coop and down her butt. I took her and cleaned it with warm water and I have isolated her.
Hi there. First time chicken mom. Is this molting or is this something serious? She is acting normal except she has stopped laying eggs about 3 weeks ago.
Ok this is my first flock of chickens. I have 4 hens and 1 rooster. When my girls start laying what happens if the rooster has got to them? Do the eggs need to be picked up right away? Do they know if one is fertilized? How long does it take for a chick to grow and hatch? I have so many...
I hope this isn’t a silly question. My girls are 7 weeks old and they have been in their coop now for 2 weeks. I let them out of their coop and they have a fenced in area. But I am wanting them to free range on my lawn but it’s not fenced in and there are predators such as coyotes and hawks in...
So it was my chicks first night in the coop. They have been acting normal but I just went and checked on them and they’re all huddled together. It’s 69 in the coop, could they be cold or is this normal behavior when they move? Picture attached
Ok well tonight’s the night. I am so nervous that they’re too cold. But the thermometer says 70 in there so I think they should be fine. Also when do they learn to roost? I attached pictures in case anyone has any constructive criticism! Thank you
Very carefully lol the coop is about 300 lbs alone plus the roost is about 60 lbs and that platform I’d say weighs about 50-60 lbs maybe more. I will definitely have to call in back up to help me 😳
Yes it is VERY heavy lol it doesn’t take that long to dry. We are having a big storm right now and then i will let it dry tomorrow and put the coop on it Wednesday....hoping this works? I’m running out of funds for this haha but want to make sure it will do
